SALES BAD-A$$

Live — July 20 - August 14, 2026

4 weeks to become the confident, easygoing salesperson your packaged product brand deserves - without faking it, hiding your authenticity, or feeling pushy.

You don't have a business unless you do sales. And that can be really painful if you started your biz because of your passion, not because you wanted to pitch, post, follow up, and circle back every week.

But as a packaged products founder - your job is to get your product in the hands of people who want it, need it, and are looking for something just like it.

(Plus - it's the only way to take shelf space BACK from big corporations - if you want to diversify our shelves, change up the products we use in our homes, and put money BACK into your local economy… you gotta step up)

That doesn't happen until you're FULLY CONFIDENT selling - week in and week out.

Sound familiar?

I get it. You started this brand because you're passionate about your product line, not because you wanted to sell. So every Monday rolls around and the follow-up email you've been meaning to send for three weeks still sits in your drafts folder.

You know what you're supposed to do. You've listened to the industry podcasts on how to pitch. You took a marketing course on Instagram. You've gone to countless webinars on getting into Whole Foods. You scroll Industry Slack channels, and follow other founders' stories on LinkedIn.

You have more information about how to grow a CPG brand than most people who've been in this industry for ages.

And yet… you still close your laptop or mindlessly scroll when it's time to actually sell.

You know how you want to walk into a buyer meeting feeling like you own the room - clear on your numbers, confident in your story, knowing exactly what it will take to get the YES?

…But instead

you spend the drive over convincing yourself they're probably not the right account anyway, or that they're just gonna say "you're too expensive" yet again.

You know how you want to be the founder who makes posting on Instagram, asking people to purchase, look so easy? No begging, no over-explaining, no "sorry to bother you" energy - just: here's what I made, here's why it's amazing, go buy it.

…But instead

you rewrite the caption six times and then default to posting a product photo with zero CTA instead.

You know how you want to walk up to your dream buyer at Expo West, hand them your sell sheet, and feel proud doing it?

…But instead

you spend most of the show analyzing other people's booths, pretending to scroll your phone in the corner, and telling yourself you'll put yourself out there at the networking event later? (which… you're too tired to attend).

You know you're good at this and have a story that inspires. You know your product is GREAT. You know sales is the one thing that makes all the other work matter.

AND… you are still not doing it consistently.

Sales Bad-A$$ makes selling feel easy, doable, and natural - so that doing the very thing your brand needs the most actually feels FUN.

Alli Ball, founder of Food Biz Wiz, in a grocery store aisle

Here's what I saw for years as a wholesale buyer.

I was the Head of Grocery at Bi-Rite Market in San Francisco - one of the most sought-after stores in the country for independent brands. Founders would drop off samples in brown kraft bags with business cards stapled to the outside, left voicemails, and send sales emails, begging me to carry them.

Most of them had extraordinary products. But so many of those brands never made it to the shelf - not because the product wasn't ready, but because the founder wasn't ready to actively SELL me on it.

They'd wait for me to reach out after dropping off samples. They'd apologize for following up when I was too busy to email back. They'd undersell the thing they'd spent two years building because they didn't want to seem like they were bothering me.

Meanwhile, I'd watch the sales reps from the big corporations walk in with their decks and their data and their perfectly rehearsed pitch, and I'd say yes to them. Not because I didn't WANT to support small brands - but I was an overworked, exhausted buyer who said yes to the easiest, most convenient option in front of me.

80%

of the products on grocery store shelves in the US are owned by just five major corporations.

[Alli to verify stat source before page goes live]

Those corporations have marketing teams, sales teams, broker networks, distributor relationships, and decades of buyer data. They have every resource you don't.

And that sucks. But…

What they don't have is you.

They don't have a founder who started this brand because they actually needed it, believed in it, or wanted to solve a real problem for real people. They don't have someone who can walk into a buyer meeting and tell the whole story - passionately explaining why this product exists, who it's for, what it means.

This is your superpower that the big corporations just don't have - and you're leaving it on the table.

When you don't sell your product, the big brands win. Simply because you aren't even trying to compete.

Diverse shelves are consciously made. Diverse pantries happen because consumers make choices about what brands they'll buy. This all happens because founders step up and SELL.

That's the industry I want to live in - and I invite you to join me.

Your brand - your specific brand, the one you built, the one you believe in - deserves for you to be its best salesperson.

So what is it, exactly?

Sales Bad-A$$ is four weeks of live sales confidence work for food, beverage, pet, wellness, supplement, and health and beauty founders who are done letting fear get in the way of their revenue.

Done letting the fear of being annoying, disingenuous, or "who does she even think she is to sell in THIS economy?!" impact their revenue, and their big biz dreams.

This is not a course on how to pitch your product - we do that deep work in Retail Ready®.

This is the confidence work that is critical to your sales success. You can know exactly WHAT to do, but unless you believe in yourself and your ability to be a badass at sales… there will always be another fire to put out instead of actively doing the MOST important work in your biz: sales.

You'll walk into September pitching buyers with confidence, posting on Instagram without overthinking, sending follow-ups without apology, and selling your product the way it needs - and deserves - to be sold. That's the work we're doing together.

The 4-week framework

How to Become a Sales Bad-A$$

Week 1

Shift Your Story

Sure, you've heard "sales is service" before and it sounds nice on paper but hard in practice.

You know you've got to do sales, but there's an underlying story about why you can't, shouldn't, or aren't able to do the very thing your brand needs the most.

Week One is where this story ends.

You'll leave this week truly believing that selling your product IS the most values-aligned thing you can do for your brand - and with a crystal clear roadmap on what it's going to take to get there.

Week 2

Quiet the Inner Critic

Identify and tame your inner voice that keeps you stuck, saying, "You shouldn't post about your product when there's a WAR going on…" or "I'm too new for that buyer to even consider me…" or "if they wanted to bring me in they would have followed up by now…"

In Week 2 we name it, understand why it's there, and learn how to move forward anyway.

You'll leave this week knowing the exact voice that shuts down your sales actions before it even starts - and how to hear it, acknowledge it, and decide how you want to move forward.

Week 3

Your Internal Board of Directors

Before every sales convo, every buyer meeting, every Pitch Slam, every Instagram post asking people to buy - you get to choose who shows up with you and how they energetically support your biz.

Week 3 is where you build that team, learn to call them in, and identify what skills, support, resources, and next steps you need to fully become a Sales Bad-A$$. You call in your dream team, and know exactly what it's going to take to make it happen.

You'll leave this week with a full board assembled - the inner team that walks into every sales conversation with you - and a success plan to get you there.

Week 4

Permission Granted

You don't actually have to cold-call anyone. You do not have to post on TikTok. You don't have to go to trade shows, or do demos, or run a Black Friday sale. You get to do sales, your way.

Week 4 is where you figure out what selling looks like when it's built around how you actually work, and commit to the version of sales you'll actually do. This is the week it all comes together.

You'll leave this week with your Love It / Leave It sales list - and actual permission to build a sales strategy that fits you, your goals, and your style of showing up in the world.

Meet your coach

Hi, I'm Alli Ball - and I'm living proof that selling your product with full confidence, without compromising on your values, is completely possible.

After years as a wholesale buyer, including as Head of Grocery at Bi-Rite Market in San Francisco, I've helped over 3,500 emerging brands sell more than $1 BILLION, combined, in our Retail Ready® sales program.

I'm also a certified CPCC Leadership Coach, accredited by the world's leading coaching organization. I've coached new, 6, 7, and 8-figure founders on sales and leadership strategies for the past 17 years.

Alli Ball, founder of Food Biz Wiz and host of the Food Biz Wiz Podcast

And - just like you - I've had to learn how to show up and sell Retail Ready® week in and week out in order to get 3,500 brands to join us. I've learned to quiet the voice that tells me it's inappropriate to sell during a pandemic, that I'm not qualified to run a 7-figure program, that no one wants to buy a digital course when they're so busy, that I'm bothering people when I send 3 sales emails on the last day of open enrollment.

Inside Retail Ready®, I've watched founders with extraordinary products lose shelf space to brands that were simply more willing to show up and ask for the sale.

I've watched founders who thought they'd never be "sales people" become the best salesperson their brand has ever had.

The most important thing I teach isn't whether you should sell DTC or wholesale, or whether it's worth it to be on RangeMe, or what subject lines to use in your sales emails.

It's that the founders who win are the ones who've decided their brand deserves for them to sell it.

That decision is what we're making this summer.

OMG yes pls. I wish every brand started with these foundations. Getting your relationship with selling right before you launch means you'll actually pitch when it counts.
